Revolutionary Road's Frank and April Wheeler might as well be Mad Men's Don and Betty Draper: Both are secretly unhappy, suburban couples living in the 1960s. And like Mad Men, Revolutionary Road paints an immaculate portrait of the period with all of its booze and sexual politics.

Crown

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Doctor Who and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy have many things in common, from space travel to aliens to witty, charming Englishmen. If that's not enough for you, Douglas Adams used to write scripts for Doctor Who and there are even some references to HHGTTG in the show.

NBC

The Office

Little, Brown and Company

Then We Came To The End by Joshua Ferris

Just like The Office, Joshua Ferris' Then We Came to the End captures the banality of office life while being laugh-out-loud funny. The gossip, office romances, pranks, and quirky characters in the book will appeal to and feel familiar to fans of the show.

If you're a fan of Seinfeld — which gleefully mines the neuroses of its characters for comedy gold — then definitely check out Philip Roth's hilarious Portnoy's Complaint, whose protagonist's issues with sex and his mother make Jerry and George look pretty much normal by comparison. —Raymond Sultan

5.If you loved Gossip Girl, you should read Zoey Dean's The A-List. *

The CW

Gossip Girl

Poppy

The A-List by Zoey Dean

Fans of Gossip Girl will eat up the world of privilege and drama that is The A-List. While The A-List trades Manhattan high society for glamorous Beverly Hills, protagonist Anna still sticks to Upper East Side roots that would make Blair Waldorf proud.

6.If you loved The Walking Dead, you should read Max Brooks' World War Z. *

AMC

The Walking Dead

Three Rivers Press

World War Z

7.If you loved Orange Is the New Black, you should read Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. *

Netflix

Orange is the New Black

Anchor Books

The Handmaid's Tale

Both involve strong women being imprisoned and struggling to find their footing in an entirely new world — it's that only one of them is set in a dystopic future. While Orange Is the New Black touches upon real issues women face both in prison and out, The Handmaid's Tale magnifies these same injustices by creating a fictional, anti-woman society that will get your blood boiling. —Julia Pugachevsky

8.If you loved Game of Thrones, you should read Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind. *

HBO

Game of Thrones

9.If you loved Breaking Bad, you should read William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

AMC

Breaking Bad

Penguin

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

One of the things that made Breaking Bad so compelling was how inevitable it all felt, the mechanistic ruthlessness with which the plot moved forward and Walt spiraled into Heisenberg: We were watching a man become a monster, and nothing could stop it. If you're looking for a story with the same kind of dramatic velocity, read Shakespeare's Macbeth, another stomach-dropping portrait of a man with more and more blood on his hands as he reaches for greatness. —Raymond Sultan

10.If you loved Sex and the City, you should read Jennifer Weiner's Good in Bed. *

HBO

Sex and the City

Simon & Schuster

Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner

Instead of Manhattan, it's Philadelphia, and instead of Carrie, it's Cannie, but still the themes and tone of Jennifer Weiner's Good in Bed will strike a familiar chord with fans of Sex and the City. Cannie is a smart and sardonic entertainment reporter who is reeling after finding out her ex made her the subject of his essay on "Loving Larger Women." The aftermath — which follows her ups and downs emotionally, professionally, and romantically — is hilarious and full of heart. —Arianna Rebolini

The CW

Supernatural

William Morrow

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

ABC

Lost

Perigee

Lord of the Flies by William Golding

In both Lost and Lord of the Flies, a plane crash leaves surviving passengers stranded on a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. While the survivors in Lord of the Flies may only be young British boys, both the book and the show examine what happens to our humanity when we are left to ourselves far from civilization.

14.If you loved The Sopranos, you should read Philip Roth's American Pastoral.

HBO

The Sopranos

Viking

American Pastoral by Philip Roth

While Swede Levov's glove business is considerably less bloody than Tony Soprano's chosen profession, both Philip Roth's American Pastoral and David Chase's Sopranos set out to tell the story of Americans in the 1970s and 1990s, respectively, through a both elegiac and unstintingly close examination of one prosperous New Jersey man. —Matthew Zeitlin

The CW

The Vampire Diaries

Disney-Hyperion

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

Just like The Vampire Diaries, Blue Bloods has a complicated vampire love triangle and an elaborate mythology that will remind you of all that drama with doppelgängers and the Original family. It's as fast-paced and thrilling as the show, possibly even more so because of its setting in Manhattan.

Netflix

House of Cards

Penguin Classics

Richard III

The original British version of House of Cards was strongly influenced by two works of the bard, Richard III and Macbeth. Francis Underwood definitely has all the makings of a Shakespearean antagonist, and Kevin Spacey has previously been lauded for a stage performance in Richard III, where he no doubt got some practice in for his House of Cards debut. —Julia Pugachevsky

18.If you loved Girls, you should read Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist.

HBO

Girls

Harper Perennial

Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay

Girls tends to spark a lot of discussion about feminism, class, and race (whether it intends to or not) and Bad Feminist just happens to be an incredible book of essays on pretty much all those topics. Also, there's an essay in there about Girls. And let's be real — Hannah Horvath would so be all over this book. —Julia Pugachevsky

19.If you loved The Big Bang Theory, you should read Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project.

CBS

Penguin

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

The Big Bang Theory and The Rosie Project are both about geeky, socially awkward scientists who try to find love, and the humorous situations that ensue. The nerdy humor in The Rosie Project is a perfect fit for fans of The Big Bang Theory.

If you like period pieces with heavy romantic overtones and plenty of juicy, dark secrets, Jane Eyre is the obvious choice here. It's dark, it's evocative, and it has a twist you'd never see coming. Also, once you're done, there are like a billion BBC adaptations for you to watch. —Julia Pugachevsky

ABC

Once Upon a Time

HMH Books for Young Readeres

23.If you loved Revenge, you should read Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo.

ABC

Revenge

Steerforth Press

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

24.If you loved Twin Peaks, you should read Tom Robbins' Still Life With Woodpecker.

ABC

Twin Peaks

Oldcastle Books

Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins

Both Twin Peaks and Still Life exist within just sliiiiiightly surreal universes, inhabited by characters who are larger than life. Still Life is a love story at its core, but a bizarre one — between an idealistic, environmentalist princess and a bomber outlaw known as the Woodpecker — and it's tinged with danger, intrigue, and global conspiracy. —Arianna Rebolini
